Dedicated by the King and Queen on their visit to Canada last year, the highway bears the official title, "Queen Elizabeth Way." At the offieial opening Friday tario Minister of Highways, said that the Hamilton-Niagara Falls section of the highway was a clear right-of-way, with no private en- frances, exits or crossings. More than 50 bridges -- modern clover leaves with underpasses--are dotted at important and secondary crossings and junctions on this stretch. Railway Crossings A few "unimportant" and rarely- | used brade crossings still exist "but | at these points we have restricted | building of any kind within 600 feet | 80 that if a modern crossing is to be provided later we will not be burdened with the expense of tear- ing down buildings," Mr. McQues- fen said.

Here it is. The war is going to be over by Nov. 15 of this year, with a resounding victory for Britain. 'This prediction was made to-day by C.O.M.S. R. H. Horstead of Wind- sor, Ont., who had gained a consid- erable reputation as an astrologer before he came overseas with a crack Scottish battalion from West- ern Ontario. Horstead, who claims to have foretold the outbreak of the Great War and the signing of the armis- tice on Nov. 11, 1918, says he has checked his zodiac charts several times with the same results the war is fast rushing towards an end. He suggested, however, there was no need to start painting signs of "Welcome." Even with an early wind-up of hostilities, the planets indicate it will be anywhere from 10 to 12 months before the Canadians are on their way back home, he says. There will be plenty for them to do in helping re-establish order in Europe and other tasks before they are released to pursue their normal avocations in a world once again at peace. Some time before the predicted close of the war, another world- shattering event was due to hap- pen, he added. He thought it might involve the death of some outstand- ing personality or an attempted assassination. "It may prove to be an attempt against Hitler's life, but I wouldn't like to be too positive on that point before I have had an opportunity of consulting my charts more thor- oughly," Horstead said.

From the windows he accomplished an almost impossible feat of scaling the wall for seven feet to the roof | of the jail. Once on the roof, he found a trap-door which let him down into the attic, Unable to find an outlet to the floor under the attic, he ripped about twenty-five feet of old elec- tric wiring from the wall and at- tached it to a beam, throwing the loose end out the window.

In attempting to line, hooked in the rocks of the | spillway, below the city pumping station dam on the Otonabee Riv- er, the three men launched a small | punt on the foaming water. Almost as soon as they pushed out from shore, the bow was caught in the current and pulled below the surface. "The next thing we 'knew, the boat was breaking to bits and | we were fung into the water" Plumb said. Each of them suffered a number of bruises and small cuts when they were dashed against the reeks. Realizing they could not swim to shore, the men fought the current, which 'was strong becanse a num- ber of powerhouses were not oper- ating, and clung to rocks. An unidentified man in a heavy, square-end punt rescued the trio before police arrived. free Stevens' The Mesquakie Indians have painted out the swastika emblems.
